The Universe Doesn’t Care — Absurdism’s Answer to the Meaning of Life

What if the universe has no built‑in meaning—and that’s not a problem, but a gift? In this episode of the Meaning of Life series, we explore Absurdism: the philosophy that emerges when our deep human longing for meaning meets a silent, indifferent universe. Drawing on the ideas of Albert Camus, we examine why this tension—the Absurd—is not something to escape, but something to embrace. In this video, you’ll learn: • What Absurdism really means (and what it doesn’t) • Why the universe’s indifference can be liberating rather than depressing • The myth of Sisyphus and what it teaches us about happiness • How rebellion, freedom, and passion create meaning without illusions • Practical ways to live fully in an absurd world If you’ve ever felt frustrated by traditional answers to life’s purpose—or relieved by the idea that no cosmic script exists—this episode offers a powerful, honest alternative. 0:00 Introduction: When the Universe Is Silent 0:40 What Is Absurdism? 1:30 Camus & The Myth of Sisyphus 2:30 Why This Is Good News 3:30 Rebellion, Freedom, Passion 4:20 Living Well in an Absurd World 4:50 Conclusion & Invitation 📺 *Watch the full series:* Ep. 9 – Taoism: Meaning as Harmony & Effortless Action Ep. 8 – Human Flourishing & Reason Ep. 7 – Islam: You Don’t Create Meaning, You Align With It Ep. 6 – Christianity’s Answer to Emptiness 🔔 *Subscribe* for weekly episodes exploring how different philosophies and traditions answer life’s biggest question. 💬 *Join the discussion:* Do you find the idea of a meaningless universe terrifying—or freeing?
